Part 5
The train rattled, and the Colonel had to focus on the snow whizzing past to distract himself from how hard the seats were. He was starting to really regret giving Ed a hard time about traveling so much… after all, the seats hurt!
"Sir, would you like to stop for a while?" Hawkeye suggested. Despite his efforts, he hadn't been able to convince anyone to stay back at Central, even at risk of a court martial. Secretly, he was glad he hadn't gone alone, but he had a bad feeling about all this.
"No. We should head straight there. After all, we have too much ground to cover, and the sooner we get there, the sooner I can burn him to a crisp for his stupidity."
"Isn't that a bit harsh, Colonel?" Hawkeye looked straight at him.
She's always straight to the point…. The truth is, the Colonel really was worried about Ed, but he sure wasn't going to let anyone else know.
Hawkeye merely shrugged and turned back to her paper. The others were sitting in another car, leaving the Colonel the opportunity to stare back out the window.
He gazed through the steadily growing white haze.
Ed… you had better be all right. Or else I'm going to kill you myself.
With these thoughts echoing in his mind, the white blanket faded slowly to a black sheet of sleep.
